We have been using QB since 1999. We have been using the desk top version Enterprise Solutions for about 15 years. We have over 4000 inventory items and 500 customers, so the file gets large quickly. We have started over with new company files 3 time in the past and it is always a pain because of the number inventory items and customer. We need to start a few data file for 2025 since the current file is over 2.8g.
We would like to make a copy of the current file, then erase all transactions in the new copy, leaving the info for each inventory item, customer and vendor. We would then simply just do a journal entry for opening balances.
Is there a way to quickly delete all transaction from a QB file?
You can use the Condense Data utility to do so.
